Basant, J.

This judgment must be read in continuation of the order

dt.5.10.2010.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner today submits that

this is a case where the husband of the petitioner is missing and

the petitioner is unable to assert that he is under any illegal

detention or confinement. We do not, in these circumstances,

find any justifiable reason to invoke our extraordinary

constitutional jurisdiction under Article 226 to issue a writ of

Habeas Corpus.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this Writ

Petition may now be dismissed without any prejudice to the right

of the petitioner to move an appropriate application later under

W.P.(Crl).No. 389 of 2010

2

Section 482 Cr.P.C. or under Article 226 of the Constitution

complaining about the inadequate investigation on the part of the

Investigating Officer.

4. We accept the request. This Writ Petition is accordingly

dismissed, subject to the above observations.
